Chapter Twenty-Five: Desperate Survival
"Are we going to die here?" Ye Wutong's eyes widened and he stared at the harsh environment around him.
Hearing this, Jing Suqin was stunned and a little sour in his heart, he didn't want to see such a lovely girl who had despair about life, and then smiled very brightly: "Don't worry, the boss will take you out!" ”
Ye Wutong's eyes smiled like a pair of crescent moons, which was very cute.
Facing the vast desert, Jing Suqin tried his best to calm down in his heart. Then his mind slowly resurfaced the lost map. Just after the panic of yesterday, the war horse went missing, and took with it the things in the blanket on the horse's back. In addition to a large amount of food and water sources, it is this map carefully marked by the Northern Dark Dragon.
When this map was fine, even the route of retreat after the two of them had completed the project had been fully prepared. But now it's gone......
A few pale rivers were sketched in my mind, followed by three or five mountains. After a while, Jing Suqin had already depicted the map in detail in his mind. This is really a good thing, but the problem is that the Northern Dark Dragon does not specifically mark this 'yellow sand pile' on the map at all. So now I think about it, it doesn't have much effect.
Slowly open your eyes, and look at the highest mountain in the distance. I had no choice but to give it a go! Jing Su Qin's eyes burst out with two fine lights. Called Shangye Wutong, the two of them left the barren grass and marched into the desert!
Sand, sand, sand!
The most important thing for them now is to find a source of water, and staying in the desert for too long will inevitably lead to dehydration. When the time comes, let alone go out, even if you simply survive, you will be hanging!
Hiss...
"Be careful!" Jing Suqin grabbed Ye Wutong and motioned her to speak softly. Because in front of the two of them was entrenched a poisonous snake.
This venomous snake is very cunning, transforming its scales into the color of a desert. At this moment, he was cocking his tail, spitting out a scarlet and purple core, and a pair of cold and indifferent eyes, as if he was arguing with Jing Suqin and them, and the tense appearance made Ye Wutong couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Damn! It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs! Jing Suqin was furious in his heart, and then threw a dart out with one hand.
However, the viper's reaction was so swift that it suddenly jumped high and was inconspicuous when it was entrenched there, but it jumped high, and the huge viper was four feet long, and its big tail swept towards the steel dart, and the two suddenly made a sonorous sound. I didn't expect our ghost god's steel dart to miss a snake!
When it was too late, the poisonous snake jumped high, opened its mouth of blood, spit out a purple core, and came towards Jing Suqin's neck, and the sharp steel teeth in its mouth looked terrifying. Those dense small thorns around the teeth must be highly poisonous.
Airplanes!
Out of thin air, it was just a cold light swept away, and then he saw Jing Suqin grab the sand and wipe the bamboo leaf sword, and the poisonous snake was in a different place. Suddenly, a fishy smell came.
"Cover your mouth and nose and go!" Jing Suqin pulled up Ye Wutong and ran.
The smell on this poisonous snake was a little weird, and Jing Suqin, who was a doctor of medicine in the high-tech era, could naturally tell how strong the venom was in the air......
Although the two of them left here, they didn't know that a pair of dark eyes were watching them in the dark!
After running for two miles, the smell gradually faded. The two of them stopped, and it was then that they were faced with another big problem. It's winter, but the desert is so hot that the sun is high enough to stick to the scalps of the two of them. In addition, it is now noon, so it can be said that it is the hottest time here.
Jing Suqin stretched out his arm and stopped in the sunlight for a while, then he felt a burning pain coming from his arm. There were boots under his feet to insulate the heat, but there was still a burning heat. The vast desert was filled with a scorching scorching breath, and the heat wave gradually rose, like a raging sea. The slightest mistake will engulf both of them!
"It's not an option, find a place to rest now. Hurry again in the afternoon! Jing Suqin made a temporary decision. Then he took Ye Wutong and quickly approached the nearest high mountain. Approaching the high mountain, both of them were good, and they came to a small cave halfway up the mountain.
"Boss, why did you choose to rest here?" Ye Wutong looked around the mountain-cave and said suspiciously.
"You don't know this, there are more beasts in the desert, and although we are all skilled, there is no reason to delay time on them." Jing Suqin smiled and said, "For the sake of safety, I had to come to this halfway up the mountain to rest." ”
"The Boss knows so much." Ye Wutong said with a smile.
Although the area is large enough for two people. But the smell in this cave is really bad, and the smell of rotting animal carcasses is really bad. Jing Suqin looked around, only to see a pile of white bones piled up in the dark place in the cave, which looked like animal bones at a glance. And there are also piles of black things scattered around.
"What is this?" Ye Wutong's snow-white little hand picked up a black thing. The contrast is striking.
Jing Su Qin couldn't help but smile: "That's animal feces." Hey..."
Ye Wutong screamed and threw down the feces gratefully. Girls love to be clean, but in fact, these feces have long been dried and have no smell. Jing Suqin shook his head and smiled, but he picked up some of the feces and put them in his backpack. Ye Wutong asked very puzzled, but Jing Suqin smiled silently.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the scorching noon passed, and the two of them jumped halfway down the mountain and marched towards Mobei.
Walking slowly, the hydration bag dried up. Scorching weather always consumes a lot of water. Just when he was at a loss, Jing Suqin licked his dry lips, and gave all the water bags to Ye Wutong just now, after all, she is a girl. Suddenly, Jing Su Qin's eyes lit up, and then he ran a few steps, and then lay on the ground, not knowing what he found.
The yellow sand was blown away by the wind, revealing two traces of water flowing through the ground. Carefully staring at the traces of these two streams of water, it seems that they are gradually flowing from afar, and finally converge and flow in the direction of the north, and it seems that a larger source of water is ahead. Thinking through this layer, Jing Suqin said to Ye Wutong with joy: "I found the water source!" ”
Ye Wutong was naturally very happy. Just now, Jing Suqin gave himself all the water, and this little girl was not willing to drink it, so she thought about leaving it for the two of them to save their lives at the moment of crisis.
The two of them had a direction this time, and went directly in the direction of the water source.
Hurrying in the direction of the north, Jing Suqin was overjoyed in his heart. Because you couldn't see any plants just now, but now it's different, and the closer you get to the uncertain water source, the more plants you have here. Although they are not green, most of them are yellowish in color. But it gave them some confidence...
"What is this?" When Ye Wutong saw a bunch of withered yellow plants, he wanted to reach out and touch them!
"Don't touch it!" Jing Suqin was shocked in her heart, and immediately grabbed her little hand. Looking closely at this huge plant, I saw that it was a tall man, one by one like a thick reed, but the thick branches were full of upside-down golden hooks, these hooks were very hidden, and if they were touched, they would be firmly sucked by it if they were not careful. You can't get out easily...
"It's called the 'Golden Ghost Hook.'" The 'search library' of medicinal herbs and plants in Jing Suqin's mind quickly opened. Such as a number of family treasures. He's a doctor of medicine, so he knows all of this.
Ye Wutong was too frightened to touch these terrible plants, so he had to keep his little head down and follow behind Jing Suqin. Like a new daughter-in-law who has been angry.
Jing Suqin smiled. Then his eyes locked on a green plant. It seems that this plant is similar to the appearance and shape of the golden ghost hook just now, but the color is green, and there is no small hook on a closer look.
"This one can be touched." Jing Suqin was overjoyed in his heart and said to Ye Wutong, now that he has seen such a green plant, it means that the source of Ming Water is not far away!
Ye Wutong shook his little head like a rattle. Jing Suqin laughed, then cut off some green plants with a dagger, put them in his backpack and said slowly: "This is the 'Tiger Driving Jade Grass' to put these things on the ignited flame, and the green smoke from them can prevent mosquito bites." ”
Looking at Jing Suqin's arrogant appearance, Ye Wutong pursed his lips: "The boss is really a monster, he knows everything!" ”
"Hahaha!" Jing Suqin looked at Ye Wutong's serious appearance and laughed, he was still really full of affection for this cute girl.
As you continue to walk, the greenery around you gradually increases. Sure enough, there is a water source in a place covered with many greenery, which is the legendary desert oasis!
However, the legendary desert oasis is not as clear as imagined, but very turbid, and the water is full of sand. Sniffed the water with my nose, and it was not bad to drink. It's just that you have to boil the water, otherwise you're going to have a stomach upset.
The two of them filled the water bags they had brought with them. I simply washed my face again, and the cool lake water suddenly made the two of them feel excited.
The temperature difference in the desert is very large, and it is now close to night. The scorching heat of noon had long since subsided, and the cold wind swirled with the yellow sand all over the ground. It passed through Ye Wutong's body, making him shiver.
Looking up at the sky, Jing Suqin said slowly: "It's time to rest." But at this time, the stomach barked out of place. Looking back at Ye Wutong, who was full of embarrassment, he knew that this Nizi was already hungry.
"Hey, you're dinner today!" Jing Suqin glanced at the carefree rabbit galloping on the desert and smiled evilly.
